GENDER DIFFERENCES IN SEXUAL FANTASY AND BEHAVIOR IN A COLLEGE POPULATION - A 10-YEAR REPLICATION

This report is a replication of a study conducted 10 years ago by Pers on et al., investigating gender differences in sexual behaviors and fa ntasies in a college population. We found that men continue to fantasi ze more than women, but the gender differences have narrowed. Recent s exual experiences of our population show a trend toward an increase in gender differences, and there is a greater correlation between sexual fantasy and experiences in women than in men. As in Person's study, w e did not find that men had more aggressive/sadistic fantasies than wo men.
